Student Organization for SafetY
Who are we?
We are a campaign focused on keeping students of all genders on campus safe. We recognize that safety on campus is a growing issue that universities across the country are trying to address. Every day, students face growing threats of violence and a lack of support. Universities shouldn't have to be the only ones handling such impactful issues. As we love our university, we want to support IUPUI in creating a safer environment. Our group was founded on the basis of wanting all our fellow jaguars to feel safe to pursue their academic and social dreams and to create a safer campus directed by the voices of IUPUI students.
Student Testimony
" There was so much anger and carelessness swarming our country, I could only imagine the worst happening to me. It was crippling anxiety, there was nothing I could do about it. I felt torn between taking a break from school and telling myself that was the cowardly thing to do..."

Student Testimony
"My freshman year I remember very well how I would receive notices all the time about assault, and specifically sexual assault.
It felt like a weekly occurrence at a minimum at one point. It’s been two years and sexual assault is still a massive issue.
The student body knows.
The teachers know.
The university knows..."
